How to strip HTML tags with jQuery?

by

Use the .text() function:

var text = $("<p> example ive got a string</P>").text();

Update: As Brilliand points out below, if the input string does not contain any tags and you are unlucky enough, it might be treated as a CSS selector. So this version is more robust:

var text = $("<div/>").html("<p> example ive got a string</P>").text();
